Dec. 24, 1929. A. SCHIERER STOVE INCLOSURE Filed May 3, 1928 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 24, 1929 PATENT OFFICE ANTON SOEIEREB, F HINSDALE, ILLINOIS STOVE IFICLOSUBE Application filed May 3, 1928. Serial No. 274,947.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stove inclosures, and more particularly to a device of thls character which is especially adapted for use in con- 6 nection with cooking stoves. One of'the objects of my invention is the provision of an inclosure which will inclose the upper part of a cook stove with the front portion open, so that access may be easily obtained to the grates and ovens.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a device of the above character which is provided with a supporting frame of special structure for the purpose of sup- 1 porting the inclosure in its proper position relative to the stove, whereby the inclosure will be extremely useful in conveying the undesirable odors arising from cooking, off to any desired place. i A further object of the device is. the provision of a structure which can be readily connected to an outside draft and so disposed relative the cooking grates as to create a draft over the cooking grates and convey the steam, smoke and cooking odors to the outside and prevent them from escaping into the room in which the stove is located.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel feaso tures of construction, the combination and arrangement of artshereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of my device illustrating its application,

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 2-2 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1.

For the purpose of properly illustrating my invention, it will be note that I have shown a cook stove 1 in the body of the inclosure 2. The 11 per or dome part 3 of the inclosure has its rent and end walls curved on an arc, as shown at 4, and terminate at their upper part into an .outlet 5. The back of the part 3 is perpendicular or practically vertical, as at 6, and also terminates into the outlet 5 which is connected with a draft con- 60 duit 7.

legs are'formed with inturned flanges to The body art 2 comprises a back wall 8 and ends we 1s .9, the upper edge of which is formed with inturned flanges 10, upon which rest the inturned flanges on the lower edge of the part 3 and back wall 6, said flanges being connected and held against movement by means of bolts, rivets or similar fastening means.

In order to properly support the body and dome, a frame 11 is provided, which comprises the legs 12, end pieces 13 and longitu d-inal piece 141, which connect the legs and are suitably braced by means of the diagonal brace members 15. The upper ends of the which inturned flanges on the body are bolted, so as to securely retain the body in place on the frame.

Suspended from the front edge of the part 3 is a swinging guard plate 16, which when in use is suspended from the part3, as shown in full lines in Figure 1, and, whennot in use, is moved to rest in an inclined position against the part 3, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1. This plate 16 is used particularly when there is any cooking done from which considerable odor or smoke is arising,

so as to keep all but a minimum amount from will be apparent that various changes and alterationsmay be carried out without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.

' I claim as my invention:

In an inclosure of the class described, a supporting frame having horizontal flanges thereon, a body portion open at one side and having internal flanges at its upper and lower edges with the flanges on the lower 10o edges resting on and secured to the flanges on the frame, a dome part having arcuate front and end walls and a vertical back Wall all terminating into a draft opening, i'nturned flanges on the lower edge of the dome part resting and secured to the flanges 'at the upper edge of the body, and a guard plate pivotally suspended from the lower edge of the dome part and adapted to be extended ovef' a portion of the open side of the body.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of April, A. D. 1928.

ANTON SCHIERER.
